my brother is also a physician, and also of high standing, and he says the same thing.
so i take phosphates or phosphites—whichever it is, and tonics, and journeys, and air, and exercise, and am absolutely forbidden to “work” until i am well again.

Explanation:

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" was considered to be one of the initial literary works on feminist themes in America. Her story deals with the mental and physical health of the women during the 19th century.

The given excerpt talks of how the narrator was made to act and do whatever the "physician/ husband" says, referring that they are revered in the society. She exclaims "what is one to do?" when "a physician of high standing" tells her what to do. She was expected to obey whatever had been said, be it the physician husband or the physician brother. Their words and claims dictate how healthy or unhealthy she is. This shows that doctors were believed to be unquestionably all-knowing, with no one seeming or expected to act or do otherwise.
